I read on this board people saying that they have more than one BP6. This makes me feel inferior, as I have just the one (but love it loads
).
So my question is: Who has the highest number of BP6-based computers?
That's working computers, not just boards, although please list any unused boards as well.

This should prove interesting.

Just one for me for now. Hey, can we count VP6 also? I want one of those too.
When I discovered BP6s existed on eBay I emailed a guy that had bought a couple and I think he already had like 4 already. He was setting up or adding to his server farm. He turned me on to BP6.com.
Gosh, maybe "he" is one of ya'all.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.
No BP6s remaining

I have one little darling BP6 v1.0 with replaced caps. She's in mint condition, but I forgot to enable ACPI before installing WXP and now the hardware is all messed up due to some hardware rearrangements... She'll be happy again when MS releases SP2 and I install the RV BIOS and WXPSP2.
Sto be or not Sto be, that is not even a question...

I currently own 3 working boards. Though none are actually in service. I only have so much space and they aren't all that efficent crunchers. At least not compared to the newer CPU's.

Does that mean that you are simply happy to get *something* for this crap? How much would that be then?

No it just means I'll keep my worthless crap until I need it or just throw it out.
